At the MSI 2024, LoL the reigning world champion team, T1, is facing difficulties. After losing to BLG, the match against Team Liquid is coming up. However, Gumayusi expresses his concerns.
After T1 lost to BLG, the team slipped into the Loser Bracket of the MSI (Mid-Season Invitational). Previously, T1 narrowly defeated G2. The top team now needs to win every game to claim MSI for the third time. The AD carry Lee Gumayusi
Min-hyeong expresses concerns that his team might also come up short against their next opponent, Team Liquid.
Challenges for T1 at MSI 2024
What does Gumayusi say? In an interview with Ashley Kang on May 12 (on YouTube), Gumayusi emphasizes the following: If T1 does not address its weaknesses, they could lose to Team Liquid. He makes it clear how important it is to pay more attention to the Early Game
by focusing on Lane Swaps
.
Gumayusi talks about the challenge of being in the lower bracket now and emphasizes that T1 needs to win four consecutive matches to win MSI. He mentions that they need to stay in shape
as there is not much time between the games.
Another point that Gumayusi raises is the necessity of an intensive exchange of feedback within the team
to be better prepared for draft-related issues
. BLG banned five mid-lane champions against T1 to restrict Faker’s picks. In Game 4, he then played Akali against Tristana in the mid lane.
In conclusion, Gumayusi talks in the interview about his expectations for the upcoming match against Team Liquid (TL). He describes TL’s play style as pretty solid
.
He also adds the following:
I believe we could easily win if we do what we do best. But if we go into the series against TL without addressing our weaknesses, I also think we could end up losing.

So, what happens next? World champions T1 must win every game to emerge victorious at MSI for the third time. Tomorrow, on May 15, they will face Team Liquid. It remains to be seen if T1 has made any changes and how the team will hold up against Team Liquid. Gumayusi in any case describes his teammate and LoL legend Faker as nearly a perfect player: Faker still lacks one thing to be a perfect player
